All facilities are being searched under a system wide contraband crackdown Commissioner Pelicia Hall has ordered under Operation Zero Tolerance, MDOC officials said.

“Our unannounced shakedowns are paying off and will continue,” Hall said. “I thank all of the probation and parole agents and correctional officers involved for their extra work to help make MDOC safer for both staff and inmates.”

Hall has extended the renewed security effort to inmates posting on Facebook and the search of visitors and vendors upon entrance to prison grounds.

MCCF is one of the state’s private prisons and the oldest of the current three, has 998 inmates, two shy of its capacity.
